threads of yoga book excerpt

Who am I?  What is true?  No pre-modern human being asks these questions, because there is literally no separate internal agency to ask them, [Jayne suggests].  But the social mask will give birth to an inner person, and when, like a three-year-old, that inner person begins to ask the unanswerable, yoga must be born: a quest to commune, to rejoin, to feel grounded in a simpler mood.
